The Election Commission discussed the City Clerk's recommendation to establish
four centrally located polling places for the Special Franchise Election, June
21, 1988. Discussion ensued regarding expected voter turn-out; securing
sufficient judges to man 16 polling sights; and transportation problems. City
Clerk Crow responded to questions regarding polling places for the School Bond
Election, May 3, 1988. She explained that the School District is comprised of
five precincts, with different boundaries than the City or the County so it
would be impossible to use the same polling places. Member Bull stated that
he felt that if we designated one polling place per District it would not
alter the results of the election.
MEMBER BULL MOVED, SECONDED BY CITY CLERK CROW, TO APPROVE FOUR CENTRALLY
LOCATED POLLING PLACES FOR THE SPECIAL FRANCHISE ELECTION, JUNE 21, 1988, AS
FOLLOWS:
DISTRICT I
DISTRICT II
DISTRICT III

KAISER PERMANENTE, 2955 SOUTH BROADWAY
ENGLEWOOD SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION BUILDING,
4101 SOUTH BANNOCK
DISTRICT IV SINCLAIR MIDDLE SCHOOL, 300 WEST CHENANGO.
Ayes: Bull, Crow
Nays: Kol lath
Absent: Watson
Chairman Nilsen stated that she chose to vote only in the event of a tie.
Motion carried.
The Commission discussed at length the various methods that could be utilized
in order to inform the citizens of the polling places. They agreed that hand
distribution or selective mailings created too many problems. Member Bull
requested that we post the other established polling places indicating where -
the various City Precincts should vote. The Commission requested that the
City Clerk check into the possibility of Public Service including an insert
with their billing. The following suggestions were accepted:
1. Half page ad in the Sentinel (bordered)
2. Article in the Sentinel
3. Articles in the May and June issues of the Citizen
4. Post notice at Malley Center, Orchard Place, Swedish Corona,
etc .
